Best curry in Rugbyonly scored 3*on atmosphere as we only ever get a takeaway from here, but the place seems good.

All of our dishes were very tasty, particularly the tandoori chicken and the tarka daal. We were staying on a narrowboat and the restaurant delivered to the locks, fantastic service, on time and very friendly. Highly recommended.

Ordered a takeaway online. It was ready to collect in 20 minutes as they promised. The staff were delightful. They even threw in some extras for free. The food was piping hot, well packed and clearly labelled. Best of all, it was absolutely delicious! We might dine in next time.

This is one of the best currys I have had in the local area. The staff are amazingly attentive and looked after all guests on our table at every point during our meal. The food was simply delicious. I like my curry hot and I was not disappointed. The use of fresh chilli made my lamb naga spot one. Full of flavour and heat. The chef came to talk to us and explained his use of spices and chillies which made the experience even more rewarding. A great meal with exceptional flavour and brilliant service. We will be back. Thank you.

Probably one of the best places for "indian" Bangladeshi curries. I highly recommend their pathia, much better than most of the other restaurants, and very well balanced.

WARNING all South Asians to AVOID this place. Completely unauthentic and is actually very embarrassing they have “bengal” in their name. All curries have SO much sugar in them. We ordered a butter chicken where half of it was white comprised of butter, cream and sugar (in their words)!??? I’ve never been so appalled Called the place for a refund, they were reluctant. You should “call up” if you are south Asian so they can make it “spicy”…… does not correlate to sweetness or how bad the curries are. I tried to give them feedback that you shouldn’t need to say if you’re south Asian/bengali to have your food made “properly”. I was harshly told that I “wasn’t listening”. No comments taken on board and quite frankly a disgrace. For the sake of authenticity in the South Asian culture, do better. Stop adding sugar into everything and actually cook with spices.

Used to be a lovely place to eat. This time they served up uncooked chicken, very pink in the middle. Staff seemed reluctant to only offer a new one. They eventually agreed to give the money back for the dangerous meal they served. The 1 star food hygiene rating should've been a clue, though. Thoroughly disappointed in the food and the ownership. Patronise at your own risk.

I don't understand the good reviews after ordering food from here. I ordered for the first time and not impressed. We ordered a selection of curries/naan/paratha/rice/chips....the butter chicken was just far too sweet & certainly didn't taste like any butter chicken I had tasted before. Also the coconut rice too sweet. The chips were at best a small handful(and cold) Received something in the order that I hadn't ordered(even that didn't taste nice. Definitely would not recommend.

Order was a starter and a side. This took over 2 hours to arrive. Once it arrived, this was the lamb that had been given. Now if that’s not concerning, I’m not sure what is. Had cold sides and stale poppadoms. Contacted to inform of the raw food and was offered a freshly cooked order. Once this arrived, it wasn’t any better.

We decided to order via Just Eat last night, on recommendations from friends. It arrived on time and with 2 free poppadums (I forgot to order some), which was a nice touch - even though they were crushed into 100 pieces. However - the meals - both Luke warm and had to be microwaved. My chicken Rogan Josh was more like chicken and tomato….not a hint, not even the minutest hint of spice, bland boring and tasteless. My wife’s Tikka Marsala was swimming in sauce and, whist it had a bit of flavour, was also very mediocre. HUGELY disappointed.

Another spur of the moment delivery from The Exotica. Very nice Mr Fawlty. Delivery on time. More pickles than we’d asked for, and extra popudoms. Some clients have suggested that the portions are smaller. We had two main courses and one rice and ended up throwing some into the food waste bin. It was bloody lovely. Pity their not open Christmas Day. That would be us sorted.

This has been our regular restaurant for many years and have recommended to many friends who are also now regulars.. On our last visit they half filled the curry containers rather than fill them to the top. There was less meat and paneer in the containers as well. They usually give 3 popodams and mint sauce, when I opened the bag there was half a popodam in there. The mint sauce was watered down. I have stopped going here now, and am trying other restaurants in Rugby. It's a shame as I liked the food from exotica and travelled 14 miles round trip and have been going there for over a decade. I won't be going after my last experience as it was very disappointing.

Worst takeaway in Rugby/Hilmorton area, the food was reheated and either had a bleach like taste or reaked of ammonia. Onion bahjis were flat, burnt and leathery. I've never wasted so much food from a takeaway, not to mention the huge amount of plastic waste. Nothing was flavoured, most of the food used powdered chilli to increase the spiciness of the food without lending it any flavour. Everything dripped with oil and grease. Avoid at all costs, we paid £35 for the two of us to get upset stomachs and be left hungry.

Met here with two friends as one had suggested it and its local to area my parents live as well. The pictures of the front don't do it justice now it looks like alot of money has been spent doing up the place inside and out. Looks very smart. No alcohol is sold on the premises but that wasn't a problem as the shop next door sold chilled wine and beer you could take in. All 3 of us had something different lamb Tawa, chicken and mushroom buna. Can't remember the other dish but it was lamb. All 3 of us said how tasty and delicious the food was with the right amount of zing. Meat was tender importantly too. All cooked fresh and looked good. The best Indian food we had all had in a very long time. Friendly and efficient staff. Highly recommend.

On the spur of the moment my wife decided that we wanted an Indian. Ha ha. Having to order via the internet wasn’t quite as good as normal.

Whilst watching the magnificent Sky Blues more than hold their own against Birmingham City I received a text message from my wife at home asking if I could pick up a Set meal for two on the way home. Never had Lamb Bhuna before but it was very tasty. I have too say the meal for two could easily have fed another person. I was very surprised that they no longer serve alcohol, which I’ve always enjoyed whilst waiting for my takeaway . Very polite staff, it probably was because it was early, 6.30pm, but there was only one couple eating in the restaurant, however the takeaways were doing a roaring trade. Not sure about taking your own alcoholic drinks into the restaurant, wouldn’t be my cup of tea.

We boat all around the country and have tried many Indian restaurants but this place is the best I’ve come across for quality. The food seems all fresh and isn’t drowned in ghee or oil. The staff are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere chilled. The prices aren’t the cheapest but you do get the quality you pay for plus more. One thing to note is that although there is a great selection of alcohol free drinks, you need to buy any alcoholic drinks from the shop next door or bring your own. We bought a nice bottle of red wine for £5.99 which is well under half what you would normally pay in a restaurant! Glasses, ice etc are supplied. We had 3 papadums, chicken biriani, chicken jalfrezi (with pilau rice) and onion bhaji. Our bill came to less than £30 for the two of us (obviously no drinks charged for). So not much money for a great Indian meal. It’s made me realise that some Indian restaurants need to up their game. We’ll be back a third time next time we pass Hillmorton on the canal.

Having just returned from two weeks in Egypt decided to pop in at 5.30 pm last Saturday. The food and service was simply fabulous. My wife had the king prawn tawa which was extravagant in quantity of prawns, accompanied by a beautiful aubergine, onion, pepper based sauce...well worth a try if you like seafood. My chicken dish was very tasty accompanied by nan and pilau rice.

Sadly I have to agree with another review on here. The food when delivered, was a tasteless mess. We ordered, amongst others, a chicken korma and a biriani. All the sauces were runny and more of a sad packet soup mix than a sauce. Actually, a packet soup would have had more flavour. I will never use this restaurant again and advise everyone else to do the same .... or buy a pot noodle for a better experience.
